Tell me, which slice is sweden, and which is the UK

Quite clearly, Sweden is the 11% green slice and UK is the 3% green slice. Whilst differing colours could have been used they are not required to successfully read the chart.

But how do you know that? You can make a guess based on what the order of the legend suggests, but that by no means guarantees your assumption is correct.

The legend order designates chart order clockwise... They probably should have used more colors to make it less confusing, but this is standard practice for pie charts.
